carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go. Pratik suddenly realised
that he himself was covered with these things and he woke up
screaming.

Until the end of his first year at school, Vedant retained many of the

climbing trees. Once or twice he dissected dead birds from sheer

Carefully read the passage given below and provide the answers to the
4 questions based on the passage.
The assault on the purity of the environment is the price that we pay for
many of the benefits of modern technology. For the advantage of
automotive transportation we pay a price in smog-induced diseases; for
the powerful effects of new insecticides, we pay a price in dwindling
wildlife and disturbances in the relation of living things and their
surroundings; for nuclear power, we risk the biological hazards of
radiation. By increasing agricultural production with fertilizers, we
worsen water population.
The highly developed nations of the world are not only the immediate
beneficiaries of the good that technology can do; they are also the first
victims of environmental diseases that technology breeds. In the past,
the environmental effects which accompanied technological progress
were restricted to a small and relatively short time. The new hazards are
neither local nor brief. Air pollution covers vast areas of continents and
radioactive fallout from the nuclear explosion is worldwide. Radioactive
pollutants now found on the earth surface will be for generations, and in
the case of Carbon-14, for thousands of years.
Q.24
The
widespread
use of
insecticides

Options :
a. reduced the number of wild animals

‘Many sociologists have argued that there is a functional relationship

between education and economic system. They point to the fact that
mass formal education began in industrial society. They note that the
expansion of the economies of industrial societies is accompanied by a
corresponding expansion of their educational systems. They explain this
correspondence in terms of the needs of industry for skilled and trained
manpower, needs which are met by the educational system. Thus, the
provision of mass elementary education in Britain in 1870 can be seen as
a response to the needs of industry for a literate and numerate workforce
at a time when industrial processes were becoming more complex and
the demand for technical skills was steadily growing.’
